Default Cost of Garden Centres versus Nurseries



What matters to me is the price and quality of plants as well as the
information that goes with it.. I have a few favourite nurseries and
garden centres, but in general there is a lot of overpriced dross out
there with a few jewels amongst it.

Generally I prefer nurseries to garden centres.. You tend to find a lot
of 'saminess' in GC's because they get their plants in bulk from a large
suppliers (ususally). Nurseries tend to have the specialist and
unusual.. Depends what you want really.


I totally agree Jim ;-)

Recently I have bought quite a few plants online...several of them via Ebay
auction.

All the plants have been extremely well packed and good quality. You have
to watch out for those who bump the price with the postage charges but
generally it has enabled me to buy some unusual plants without having to
travel miles ;-)
